For galleries, professional photographers, artists, and framing enthusiasts, the choice of matboard defines both the visual quality and longevity of a framed piece.
VG-Lab is proud to offer Munken Mount Board Duo 2mm (Pure White/Off-White) – a world-class mountboard developed specifically for high-end conservation framing, exhibition display, and archival presentation.
Manufactured in Sweden by Arctic Paper Munkedals—the first mill worldwide to achieve Cradle to Cradle Certified™ status for an entire paper range since 2021—Munken Mount Board represents the pinnacle of European paper engineering and environmental stewardship. Grounded in a long-standing commitment to creating a positive connection between design and nature, Munken aligns industrial production with ecological best practices, delivering an uncompromised archival solution for fine art preservation.
Engineered Differently: Multi-Ply Laminated Construction
Traditional budget mountboards consist of three cheap layers: a thin printed face paper glued onto a coarse grey pulp core, backed by a thin paper lining. When bevel-cut, the rough inner core is exposed, revealing uneven coloring, fraying fibers, and visible dark lines.
Munken Mount Board takes an entirely different approach.
Munken board is produced by laminating multiple solid plies of identical material together. This creates a completely homogenous, solid-color board throughout the entire 2mm sheet:
Razor-Sharp Bevel Cuts: The 45-degree cut aperture reveals a clean, pristine white bevel edge with no raw fibers or color variation.
Consistent Density: Eliminates blade drag during cutting, ensuring ultra-clean corners and extending blade life for precision framing.
Superior Structural Rigidity: The 2mm thickness provides robust depth, preventing board bowing or warping inside large display frames.
The Munken Duo Advantage: Two Timeless Shades on One Board
Matching the undertone of a matboard to the paper stock of an art print can be challenging. A bright white mat can make a warm photo look washed out, while a dark cream mat can make a modern print look aged.
Munken solves this with the Duo White / Off-White configuration:
Side A – Pure White: A clean, neutral white ideal for modern photography, bright graphics, and contemporary art prints.
Side B – Off-White (Cream): A warm, natural tone that complements classic etchings, charcoal sketches, archival documents, and warm-toned fine art papers.
Having both shades on a single board gives framers, interior designers, and artists complete creative versatility to test and select the perfect tone for any artwork.
